I see a lot of younger people (13 or younger) on here who are saying they have crushes on people, and people saying it's stupid liking someone/dating someone at that age... Which is annoying. I'm sure we've all experienced silly little crushes from when we were younger, of course it's only NATURAL to start feeling emotions like "love", because we're just growing up. Of course, when you're at that age, chances are it probably will never escalate into something serious. I'm only 15 years old myself - 16 in May, which is still young - and I've had people I've liked when I was 12, 13 years old, and when I look back on it I think "Ugh, that's so stupid" because now I don't like them or can't see anything special about them, but it's only natural I felt that way at the time! You can't tell a younger child on the forums to give up on their crush just because they're young... You grow up and you start to learn about life. At one point or another, you'll probably experience love of some kind or in some way, so I just wish people would stop saying it's awkward that there are 12 year olds out there who have crushes on boys and girls. I'm still young too, and I like someone... Are you going to tell me to "stop liking my crush because you're too young"? It's just a natural part of life most of us will experience, after all...
So to MayorAvalon: There is nothing wrong in dating a boy at the age of 12, in my opinion. It may not last forever, but it's perfectly normal to like him and to want to be with him. Just because you're young, shouldn't mean it has to stop you from going out with him! c:
